While you are busy on some bugs, please have a look at one that
is really bothering me. (I plan to get to it in a while - but that will
take a month or so...). Mine is bin/375, and the problem is that
with kerberos running, the only way for a user to login to an account
that is in the maps is to use the Kerberos password. I am sure that
this is a screwup in the order that things get queried. FTP does not
work except for anonymous, and password changing is also stuffed.

Here's mine!
